Raw

(2016) dir Julia Ducournau w/Garance Marillier, Ella Rumpf, Rabah Nait Oufella [99 min; DCP]
This stunningly visceral film from first-time feature director Julia Ducournau follows the coming of age of a young woman as she joins a veterinary college and develops an unnatural taste.

“Raw is a film with things to say about body image, finding your identity as a woman and adapting to life as a grown-up.” – Cath Clarke, Time Out

“Ducournau, making a stellar feature writing-directing debut, fosters the kind of disquieting intimacy with her characters that leaves us continually uncertain of whether we should fear them or fear for them.” – Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
